The cost allocation to “Food,” “Travel” & “Other” was done by me and could have a minor difference of interpretation however the “Total” is accurate.

Lee, Esq is an attorney who is well known and has a vast experience with CC&R’s and Home Owners Assoiations.

4. 4/8/7 V4.0 source on website www.rvoice.org Page 4 Directors in homeowners associations often feel as if they have the power and authority to make general business decisions similar to officers in normal business corporations; and in many cases they do. Where directors in homeowners associations need to be careful (and where an important distinction exists relative to other corporations) is in adhering to the restraint on their powers which does not exist in normal corporations; to wit, in the declaration of CC&R’s. Homeowners associations are like other corporations in that they have Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation. But only homeowners associations have declarations of CC&R’s – other kinds of corporations do not. And so, where the officers of a normal business corporation may, for example, decide to pay for a business Christmas party or wash the windows of its employees’ offices, the directors of a homeowners association may not make such decisions unless the specific power to do so exists in the declaration of CC&R’s.

5. 4/8/7 V4.0 source on website www.rvoice.org Page 5 The law analogizes directors in homeowners associations as trustees whose exercise of power is limited by the declaration of CC&R’s. A trustee is a fiduciary who may be individually and personally liable for any breaches of his or her fiduciary duty. The declaration of CC&R’s is also thereby analogized to the trust declaration in a normal trust situation. And just as a trustee in a normal trust may not decide to do anything with the trust corpus unless the authority therefore is in the trust declaration, neither may the directors in a homeowners association decide to do anything with homeowner assessment monies (i.e., the “trust corpus”) other than what is specifically provided for in the declaration of CC&R’s (the “trust declaration”).

6. 4/8/7 V4.0 source on website www.rvoice.org Page 6 A violation by the directors of limitations on their authority set forth expressly or implied in the declaration of CC&R’s can result in those directors becoming personally and individually liable to association members for, inter alia, the breach of their fiduciary duty - this is analogous to the liability of a trustee. And so, unless specific authority exists in the declaration of CC&R’s, the directors in a homeowners association may not use common monies to pay, for example, for parties, the repair and/or maintenance of anything which benefits individual association members, or to do anything which sounds nice, unless the CC&R’s specifically permit same. The risk which a director runs in violating these restraints is one of individual and/or personal liability. In any situation where doubt exists whether a specific expenditure is or is not permitted under the association’s declaration of CC&R’s, competent legal counsel should be consulted and the advice of such counsel in this regard should be followed.

12. 4/8/7 V4.0 source on website www.rvoice.org Page 12 Analysis of the Cards One of the cards is utilized by J. David, the manager of the Purchasing Department who potentially purchased “Other” items for all the corporations. The following charts reflect the usage by the 9 card holders when using it to purchase “Food” (including restaurant meals).

13. 4/8/7 V4.0 source on website www.rvoice.org Page 13 Examples of “Food” Card Usage Cards were used for various purposes from: –Purchasing a $3.05 coffee at Starbucks, to –Purchasing $1,316 candy from Sees Candies, or –Purchasing a $981 meal at Claim Jumper

14. 4/8/7 V4.0 source on website www.rvoice.org Page 14 Monthly Avg for “Food” = $1608 Monthly Avg for “Other” = $2,475 Billing Period

15. 4/8/7 V4.0 source on website www.rvoice.org Page 15 When Was Card Used? The cards supposedly were issued for “emergency/disaster” business needs and yet food was purchased on all days of the week for “non-disaster/emergency” use. On Tuesdays luncheons were provided to the Boards of Directors at their monthly Board Meetings. You would expect Tuesday to be markedly different than other days, however, it is not as great as anticipated.

24. 4/8/7 V4.0 source on website www.rvoice.org Page 24 What Can A Resident Owner Do? Have your Board of Directors get rulings by our corporate attorney (verified by a second independent opinion) on the following: –Can PCM legally use Credit Cards for the purchases Staff made? –Can Purchases for one Corporation be paid for by another Corporation? (ie; GRF buys lunch for United Board Members).

25. 4/8/7 V4.0 source on website www.rvoice.org Page 25 What Can A Resident Owner Do? –GRF Credit Cards were used to purchase lunch for some of GRF, United & Third Board Meetings (approx 1/3 of total potential lunches). How were the other lunches paid for; (credit card, check, cash, etc.)? –Why weren’t all lunches purchased with the GRF Credit Cards, or, the means used to purchase the other 2/3 of the lunches?

26. 4/8/7 V4.0 source on website www.rvoice.org Page 26 What Can A Resident Owner Do? –Who authorized the Credit Cards given to PCM Staff? –Who authorized the charges that are made with the Credit Cards? –Can the Boards of Directors be held responsible for illegal use of these Credit Cards?

27. 4/8/7 V4.0 source on website www.rvoice.org Page 27 What Can A Resident Owner Do? –Are these expenses included in yearly income tax statements for the employees? –Where do these charges show up in the “Red Book” Financial Statements? –Do United and Third have similar accounts for Staff “emergency” needs?

28. 4/8/7 V4.0 source on website www.rvoice.org Page 28 What Can A Resident Owner Do? Insist that the Boards initiate a third party “forensic audit” to verify that we are not exposed to the potential legal consequences of these Credit Card charges and similar possible misappropriation of funds.

29. 4/8/7 V4.0 source on website www.rvoice.org Page 29 Addendum (Comment) On Apr 3 at the GRF Board Meeting a Director from United made the following comment (paraphrased): “He was on a committee that reviewed the Maintenance Area. Credit Card usage was justified to purchase gasoline in an emergency, since that was the only way a supplier would accept payment.”

30. 4/8/7 V4.0 source on website www.rvoice.org Page 30 Problem None of the 9 credit cards were used to purchase gasoline between Jan 2005 thru Feb 2007, a total of $114,697 in charges. So we have one or more of the following: –We never had a gasoline emergency. –He was mistaken. –PCM was mistaken. –Gasoline was purchased on an, as yet to be located, Credit Card, OR, This is a “smoke screen” to justify Credit Cards!

31. 4/8/7 V4.0 source on website www.rvoice.org Page 31 Summary The Credit Card Usage appears to have evolved over time from a true business need to an unmonitored convenience for the PCM Staff. These charges must have oversight by the GRF Board since PCM is lax in following the intent of their fiduciary responsibility to the Resident Owners.

32. 4/8/7 V4.0 source on website www.rvoice.org Page 32 Conclusion Further detailed analysis of this data will more than likely add additional areas for concern. This would suggest a definite justification for immediate AUDITS, that must be initiated by the Boards.
